What did they trade?

Haha, that was the exact same thing people said when they traded that pair of thirds for trubisky.

This.
I'm pretty happy right now. I was expecting to be disappointed at the end of the night. I'm definitely not....

Does this trade happen if Dallas doesn't trade back because two CBs went before their pick? Which then leads to NYG trading back because PHI took the last WR they wanted? This was an aggressive smart move by CHI but I don't think this was the plan all along.

Maybe pace is right this time and I'll be thrilled if in makes the bears good and we start winning some games, I really do like that, I've just seen him give up SO many picks over the years for guys they get obsessed with and they just fail again and again.

The difference with this is that when the Bears traded up for Trubisky, boone had him ranked that high above the other QBs. Fields was at one point the number two rated QB in this class.

It's not just Trubisky, Pace trades up for a guy really often and they just haven't worked yet.

Well I love this move!! Did not think this could happen but Fields is the guy I thought the Jets should take and the guy that if there was ever going to be a surprise at 1. I think the price is just fine.

That's my point. He usually trades up for someone not ranked as high. OTHERS have Fields ranked high, not just Pace.

I'm around. Very busy with life lately and just couldn't get into the season as much last year. Hoping this will get me fired back up, though.

Agreed. And if there was ever going to be an upset at 1 it would have been Fields. I am ecstatic about this. And not just because I'm blotto.

The egg timer to get Dalton benched and to get Fields on the field should be considered to already be counting down.

Not many teams that deserve a franchise QB more than the Bears. Good move. Hope it works out for you guys.

I'd never be disappointed in OL, but WR and, especially, CB have to be considered as well. Best player out of the three positions I guess.

Good trade up and pick.
I thought Fields was the 2nd best QB in this draft too.

Fields is a great pick. He needs some time to sit behind Dalton but is going to be solid.

Congratulations to da Bears fans. If ever a fanbase deserved a new good QB, it's you guys.

Bears essentially give up an extra first round pick to get one of the better QBs in recent drafts. The 4th and 5th rounders are inconsequential. Not to say that 1st round picks aren't valuable, but once you have your qb, other positions can easily be filled in later rounds. My opinion
